Warm Winter Day!

It is amazing how a little sun and warmth can lighten things up. Patches of my yard even thawed enough to get some bulbs in the ground for spring. We put together my yard wagon and the mighty Jethro and I played outside. Now that the snow is melting, maybe we should set up the…

Wonderful Day!

Not only am I giving away free copies of Healing: NewEarth4, that wonderful story about LeeAnn the healer, her huge friend Golly who is not only physically deformed from torture, but developmentally challenged from a genetic disorder; but I got a new review for Gordon’s Pride. Giving away Books is fun, but getting a review…

Shipping Packages

We were doing most of the last of the shopping, getting the boxes together to ship gifts to Alaska. For those who don’t know, the trick is to get gifts that wrapped will fit in a flat rate box, otherwise you basically pay by the inch and the pound. The flat rate is the way…

Family and Fun

I was able to spend most of the day helping to decorate my parents tree and house. It was great and we had a wonderful time going over the stories about the different orniments while my mother played the keyboard, filling the house with music.

Complaint

Why can’t the world work according to the schedule in my head? If it did the house would take 5 minutes to clean, a great book would last six hours and a good book only five. If the world worked according to my rules fixing things would be fast and enjoying them would take time.…

7 Seconds

A new house, new challenges, and new observations of human impatience. An understanding of the inner workings of toilets comes with age, or curiosity, I’m not sure which; but in any case, most people have fiddled with the back of a toilet at one time or another. We have a slow flushing toilet in the…

Settling In

We bought a few lamps, still on the hunt for more. The ones we bought need to be assembled. We found these in the pics among the the treasures left behind. This morning with the assistance of my mother, we stumbled upon the method of setting up our voicemail. Yes, not surprising, we have a…
